It is like he is pretty familiar with the moves of Harstem. With this knowledge he probably should try playing SC2 himself, maybe he'd even get to GM, who knows
I know this was "casted" mostly for amusement purposes / as a challenge, but i love how it shows an insight into what your thought process is in real time with only your vision of the map. Loving your content, honestly i'm surprised you don't have way more subs. Keep up the great work.
My god, I'm 1:35 in and I love this, I feel like I left a comment on the last video that might have lead to this. I was referencing you singing the same smashmouth song lyrics over and over and said that might be fun but it would be way better to explain everything you're doing constantly while attempting to keep playing. Not sure if that's the case but this felt so familiar and then I remembered. I'm just going to take it as so because that feels better to me. This is absolutely fantastic! Edit: Here's the comment I left, I know it's not exactly the same but it's very close: *That idea you had is awesome but you have to cut in with your thought process throughout the game like you're doing now, it's hard to talk while doing something challenging and holding your attention so talking through your plans while singing the same verse whenever you aren't talking all the while playing is a good challenge, maybe pick a better song for watchability/sanity's sake *
Harstem, that stasis ward in your opponents main base to get you out of trouble after the blink into the natural was DIRTY good. Lots of excellent use of stasis ward lately, I’m really impressed. I think this spell has far more potential than we’ve realized, and it’s good to see you scratch beneath the surface
Very entertaining episode. And probably the most informative/useful of all the BGMWSS episodes so far, as we got a genuine 'running commentary' on what's going on in your head during a match, what decisions you make and why.
BGMWSS idea: *the Banksy* You have to use workers to spray a tag any time you do something. If you do a drop, you use a probe to put a spray in the enemy mineral line. If you do a probe scout, you do a spray in your opponent's base. If you do a push, a probe goes along to tag the battle site. If you do a cannon rush or proxy, you have to leave a spray at the bottom of your opponent's ramp to hint at it. If you take an expansion, you tag it. Etc. Etc. Etc. Just make graffiti a part of everything. I think it could be fun, and a bit cheeky, depending on the build. (Also, if you're doing any cheese at all, your spray *has* to be the cheese wedge, and it *has* to go at either the top or bottom of your opponent's ramp)
BGMwSS suggestion: "Harstem casting himself from the past": Record a casting (of you or of another player) and play it back while playing a new game and try to match what is being said.
This was awesome. Now let's make it more difficult: Each game should be casted in style of different SC2 caster. Feel free to choose, however I suggest: Lowko, Husky, Rotterdam, Artosis+Tasteless (two voices maybe?) and finally (final boss) Day9.
A potential idea for a video; golden worker - at the beginning of the game designate 1 worker via control group that has to do all of the structure warping. If the worker dies, you have to win with only the buildings you have left, so guard him carefully.
Ahoy Captain, thank you for the great content. I have a couple of stupid suggestions for a future episode: 1) Incorporate a macro Nexus into your builds. 2) Mass prism.
Idk why but part of my brain was literally melting trying to process what is happening. How can you play + cast yourself at the same time? That's gotta be so exhausting! I'm really impressed! :D
The ultimate challenge - Harstem plays against an AI programmed to play like Harstem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the next beating gm with stupid stuff, what about playing with a professional broof war build order, like the build order and replacing the units like dragoons with stalker, reaver with distruptor etc... Funny and great video
wierd and funny to see you speak in the third person. one of the best challenge a idea for a show is get pro/caster and they most identify if they are the player playing the game or some other pro ( kinda like the roulette game)
What if you did a stasis ward on your opponents ramp between natural and main while dropping his main?! I bet you could pull this off while attacking his third for a distraction. Then when he runs up the ramp to stop the drop, his own units block his ramp, giving you time to just demolish that shit. I bet this would work really well against a Zerg playing roach ravager since they get an early third and bulky units. If you can destroy his lair, or any other vital tech structures such as hydra den, evo chambers, roach warren, etc. it can do massive damage to your opponents eco or tech! It’d be like force fielding the ramp, but with stasis ward. And if one distraction isn’t enough, use a second oracle on the main while attacking third so he doesn’t notice the stasis ward.
Suggestion for a BGMWSS: Dirty Dozen. You're only allowed to put 12 workers on minerals per base. If you read this Captain, I would like feedback on the suggestion. (Like: thanks, or: too stupid :) ). I am also heavily in favour of doing this casting challenge again. It was very entertaining.
This commentator is extremely accurate in predicting Harstem's moves.
it'd be funny if he kept on calling it wrong.
If you pay attention at the beginning he called a few things wrong. You've got to give him a break though we can't all be HastemCasts =)
It is like he is pretty familiar with the moves of Harstem.
With this knowledge he probably should try playing SC2 himself, maybe he'd even get to GM, who knows
Agreed. The premonition is spectacular.
5:00 "Harstem really showing that he is a confident man, that confidence tends to be based on nothing." LOL
Casting while playing seems exhausting to be honest, GJ!
Upload the commentary on Harstem casts, but with full vision. I think that'd be hilarious.
Looking forward to it.
The amount of times Harstem said "Naniwa is in trouble" has the same energy of a broken clock is right once per day. ( 24 clocks 4 lyfe)
The little zoom in on the dark enemy base was super funny to me. A great idea.
What a great cast! This Hamster guy is kinda confused, but has great spirit 😂
I just love how Harstem just constantly roasting himself lol
"Harstem doesn't see it, but it wouldn't surprise me if he knows" killed me XD
Especially with what happened next XDXD
By most historical accounts, this was the first real sign of Harstem's decline into bipolar insanity.
Wait, wut? Harstem is so humble. Until he isnt.?
hamster / harstem
This was some top tier content :') Thanks Harstem
And this is the moment when Harstem's mind started to shatter into multiple ones.
Casting Harstem is playing Harstem's biggest fan and harshest critic. Love it!
I don't know if there's a deeper joke behind the "Hamster- I mean Harstem" gag, but I still appreciate it.
this has to be the definition of insanity
I love it
You arent crazy. Sit down.
@10:45
"Good splits out of Harstem on these probes"
>probes immediately get blown up
😂😂
7:26 that Tasteless laugh impression was great :D

I really enjoy this format. Hasten casting Harstem should be a format
This is one of my favorite challenges right next to the weird archon/immortal warp prism stuff and rushed upgrades challenge

Naniwa not gg'ing.
Me: "So he's still our same old pal".

38:22 made me jump out of my chair as if I have landed that Disruptor shot! GG
Playing at top level while doing a max charisma cast? This man is truly blessed.
This is incredible. I hope it was as fun to play as it was to watch

I like to imagine this is just an episode where his split personality disorder takes over.
This is real multitasking.... 5 thumbs up

This video is just too good, nice job Harstem
First game everything Bly did went beyond Harstems predictions despite massive scouting. It's quite impressive, really. And funny!
Man you actually have some crazy talent for this hahaha
16:08 That confirms that Hamster is Harstem's alter ego!
This was awesome. Now let's make it more difficult:
Each game should be casted in style of different SC2 caster. Feel free to choose, however I suggest: Lowko, Husky, Rotterdam, Artosis+Tasteless (two voices maybe?) and finally (final boss) Day9.
This was so funny! Well done! Haha
Utmost respect, very professional and on point casting, totally could have believed it's a real cast ;) good reads most of the time XD
This amazing! Haha wow what unique and fun idea/video. Got some good laughs and enjoyment :)
This deserves its own series! Super entertaining and full of insight at the same time
I would love more of these videos ! The meta moments are fucking hilarious
We. Need. More. Of. This.
This is the best SC2 content on yt ATM (sorry Winter). Keep it up!
Best episode yet! Hilarious and impressive, I can barely speak a full coherent sentence when focusing on a ranked game
A potential idea for a video; golden worker - at the beginning of the game designate 1 worker via control group that has to do all of the structure warping. If the worker dies, you have to win with only the buildings you have left, so guard him carefully.
Castem
hahahahahahaha
Man...I really LOVE this format, please make more :D
Harstem's Mom: "My son is the greatest decider of all time"
Harstem: "Mom, school is for losers. Imma be a pro-gamer"
Harstem's Mom: . . .
Harstem casting this the way he WANTS to cast and roast every game he casts, but only here he won't get flac lmao
Its beautiful to see harstem rip his own play apart in real time
This is actually brilliant in concept and execution.
I watch all your videos on both channels. This was my favourite ever. Nice!
One of the best videos in the whole history of this channel.
Ahoy Captain, thank you for the great content.
I have a couple of stupid suggestions for a future episode:
1) Incorporate a macro Nexus into your builds.
2) Mass prism.
Idk why but part of my brain was literally melting trying to process what is happening.
How can you play + cast yourself at the same time? That's gotta be so exhausting! I'm really impressed! :D
This is seriously some of the funniest shit ive seen this year
"Harstem isn't aware of it yet." - right... :D
😂 This format is so dumb i love it
This was the most fun challenge yet to watch, I hope you do this one again or make it a series!
That baneling run by that both Harstem the player and Harstem the caster missed... wow...
"Harstem was not ready for that run by, I also missed it" haha wp
a fantastic call here 3:57
What a great episode of BGMWSS! Very impressive, since I can scarcely remember to breathe while playing, much less string together coherent casting!
This is an awesome concept ngl
Yes!! I was waiting for a video like this… love it Harstem, you’re the best!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
BGMWSS: Build vikings + medevacs, land the vikings. Put them in the medevacs and proceed to drop for massive confusion and damage.
Harstem = Hamster confirmed?
I'm only 4:30 in and already this is completely mental in all the best ways
I actually wat to see this with game in caster mode so we can see how well Harstem casted the opponents XD
great vid!
Stone age: No Upgrades whatsoever. No warpgate, no +1. Nothing.
I have a challenge in mind; you can see what is your opponent doing and respond with the worst composition that you can do against that.
Gotta love how unbiased the intro is 🤪
Harstem should submit a Beating Grandmasters With Stupid Stuff episode to Is It Imba Or Do I Suck, that would be hilarious.
this is probably one of my all time favorite casts 😂
It actually sounds like a cast when I’m not looking at the screen!
I very much enjoy this format
Phenomenal performance from the Dutchy
This is great, you should do a second part!
Super impressive! Hope you got a good drink of water after that. :D
Impressively captivating, hope to see a re run of this challenge :)
The ultimate challenge - Harstem plays against an AI programmed to play like Harstem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
too bad it would take like a million years to make that bot so it probably can't happen.
Did Harstem just reveal he is Hamster? I haven’t seen them in the same room together…
I used to do this in my head while I was playing, I think it actually helps you play better
wow what a great thumbnail
Harstem is the only non zerg player I watch. 50% due to his ability, 50% due to his humor 😆
"some people say he's always been a dick". love it. haha
16:10: When the misspeaks your name to call you "Hamster"
and the caster is you... =0
For the next beating gm with stupid stuff, what about playing with a professional broof war build order, like the build order and replacing the units like dragoons with stalker, reaver with distruptor etc...
Funny and great video
Bly most likely will be responding to whatever harstem decides to do lmaoo
I can't wait for the 2-3 hour podcast with Lowko
30:08 i have the same problem with the word nvm. adele thinks she can walk into my head every time i hear the word nvm.
Now we need to see is "it imba or do i suck" casting his own game
wierd and funny to see you speak in the third person. one of the best challenge
a idea for a show is get pro/caster and they most identify if they are the player playing the game or some other pro ( kinda like the roulette game)

Thats just how a caster like tasteless laugh

He is smart, good looking and a liar. 🤣🤣🤣 Nice video.
16:08 22:07 XD
Please put the sound of this video over replay of those game to see how good of a cast he did.
This might very well be the dumbest of the series yet, and I'm here for it.
That title!!! Its so damn good
This is super funny! Do it more please
